Скачать или смотреть High Peaks Trail, Pinnacles National Park, CA

The High Peaks Trail is a highlight of any visit to Pinnacles N.P. It takes you up to the two high peaks giving amazing views toward the west and east. There is a narrow section with railings and cut out steps which is fun, but may be challenging and too narrow for some people. I hiked this trail on a wonderful sunny morning. I was hoping to see a California Condor, but alas, not this time, though there were plenty of Turkey Vultures enjoying the updrafts.

Thanks for joining me, I hope you’ll enjoy the video and the beautiful nature at this park.
